武汉:抓好“七个更重要”的工作

Wuhan: Focusing on the “seven more important issues”

改革开放20年来,武汉市累计审批外资项目4722个,实际利用外资66.1亿美元。外资已成为武汉建设资金、技术创新、管理创新、出口创汇的重要来源。1998年,全市外商投资企业主营业务收入占国内生产总值15.5％,工业外商投资企业主营收入占工业领域国内生产总值33.6％;外资占固定资产投资比重达25％左右。据初步测算,利用外资对全市GDP拉动作用约为11个百分点。 武汉市引进和利用外资工作呈现如下特点: 一是利用外资结构正在发生变化,外资来源从港澳台逐步转向欧美日。1985—1992年,这一时期武汉市利用外资主要以间接利用外资为主。外商直接投资主要来源于香港、澳门、台湾等地,投资领域也主要集中于一般加工工业项目,资本、技术含量相对较低,主要属于劳动密集型产业。
